RiverClan Skyridge

Rainfur sat down knowing that that was a good decision since she had become a queen most recently with her second litter. She flinched at the thought of all the still bodies that she couldn’t save. She was lucky to even have Breezepaw survive.

As Stormstar called for three kits to step up to the Stormcrest, Irisfrost watched as one, two came forwards. Where was the third? Maybe they were still in the nursery. Strange; she didn't know how a kit would miss Stormstar calling their name, but who knew.

They became apprentices, and then it was time for reassignments. Irisfrost liked Stormstar's new policy; that if a warrior didn't train their apprentice they wouldn't be assigned another one. Hopefully it would stop (or at last reduce the number of) apprentices getting mentors that neglected them.

Hearing her name among the reassignments startled her, and it took her a moment to realise she had been given one. Breezepaw. Irisfrost's brows furrowed; she didn't think she would've been given another apprentice, not when there were plenty of warriors without one. Maybe Stormstar thought she had done a good job training Grimpaw. But that couldn't be it; she hadn't gone above the standards of a decent mentor. Maybe Stormstar's bar of an exceptional mentor was lower than she had thought.

But... wait, she hadn't seen Grimpaw around lately. Sure, the camp was big enough that they might just not have noticed each other as they did their daily tasks, but he could be missing. Thinking about it, it wasn't an unlikely scenario. Irisfrost frowned, deciding she would look for Grimpaw later, to see if he was still a part of RiverClan. She wasn't going to abandon his training and then find out later that he had been there, waiting for her to take him out all along.

But first she would speak to her new apprentice. "Breezepaw, over here," she called, knowing the apprentice likely wouldn't know who she was.

@Spookytail

Oh um hi? I’m breezepaw and um it’s nice to meet you! Can um we start patrolling or hunting or um fighting? Rainfur taught me a little bit so um I know how to hunt… ooh watch this.. *puffs out fur so he looks full grown* Rainfur said that this is a good move for apprentices! Ya know since we’re so small! Ooh I can’t wait until momma rainfur has my sibs!


(Rainfur is his mom and his old mentor)

How exciting, a new warrior. She didn't know any of the apprentices, however, she had a fishing lesson with Rain'paw before, so that could count. Cricket'paw made no moves though, and watched through open eyes.

If aspenpaw hadn't looked up when he did he might have missed the look stormstar had sent him. It was enough to convince him to shut his trap and sit silently. whether the reason for the glare was because he was talking to much or maybe she heard his tone, it really didn't matter all he knew was that he rather not be on the leaders bad side. Sitting quietly it is! From Seabreeze's silence it didn't seem like the warrior was going to answer his questions anyway.

Aspenpaw zoned in and out of the meeting only paying a bit of his attention when the kits- or more so his soon to be new denmates stepped forward to receive their rank. Fawnkit and duskkit, he didn't know either personally but he cheered their names loudly anyway. Becoming an apprentice was one of the best moments in his life and he was sure it would be for them too, maybe he'd teach them a thing or two from what he already learnt. You know, be a friendly den mate an all.

After duskpaw and fawnpaw greeted their new mentors, stormstar continued the meeting moving on to reassignments. Aspenpaw rolled his eyes, seriously this again? It felt like every meeting some poor apprentice was getting a new mentor because their former ones had been very neglectful and undeserving of the rank warrior. Aspenpaw was just about to zone out in a spiral of other thoughts when her a specific name announced. Salamanderpaw. Again? But hadn't she just gotten a new mentor last meeting??? Seapaw too? Infact there was a pawful of his den mates getting new mentors. Without really thinking about it, his eyes sought out Mander and seashell. If their mentors weren't going to actually do their jobs then he would just drag them along with him, he knew a decent amount of stuff to teach them and he was sure Floodsight wouldn't mind-

Floodsight.

For a moment he felt angry again, still offended. Still feeling petty but then shame and guilt started to overlap the previous emotions. He had a great mentor, who was responsible and caring. She trained him well, taught him so much, she was patient and never once neglected or forgot about his training. He'll and what had he done in return? Throw tantrums and act like a bratty kit! He'd been so.... ungrateful

It was time to suck up his pride an apologise.

Risin' to his paws, he bumped seabreeze with his shoulder, "don't think I'm done, I'll be back later" he informed the tom. Bet he was also a bad mentor. With not even a goodbye, he was off making his way through the crowd of seated cats in search for his mentor. When he finally found her it seemed he had been the second to approach the warrior. Usually he would just turn tail and find something or someone else to bother and leave her interact with her friend? But today was different. He had to apologise, something he'd rarely done before.

"Floodsight" he called, not raising his voice to much. There was a meeting going on after all. Once he was close enough to the warrior he headbutt her shoulder and sat down. "I'm sorry, you were right. I shouldn't have lied and I shouldn't have thrown a tantrum after or have been upset about it for as long as I did. You've been patient with me even though I've been.... difficult. I'd like you to know that I'm glad your my mentor and that I'm sorry!" aspenpaw had never really meant his apologize before but this was the first time he did, had he done it correctly? Was Floodsight still mad at him?? He hoped she wasn't, he'd avoided even looking at her his entire apology and had instead focused on staring at his paws. Thought the whole of it he had tried to keep his voice down, couldn't let others overhear him apologising for acting like a kit. "please forgive" he added quieter. He'd just realised that there seemed to be a warrior ceremony happening, maybe he hadn't chosen the best moments to make amends with his mentor. Aspenpaw looked up only to see it was Primrose paws warrior ceremony. Shoot! Well atleast he hadn't been talking loudly! Maybe his quiet charter had been disruptive though. Aspenpaw stared apologetically at prim however he was unsure if she would see him anyway.
